Re: EP45-UD3P (F9) - Backup BIOS Recovery Source?

Morning Lsd, thanks for the further help.

As you know my next aim for this system is to Overclock to a reliable speed.

My current CPU cooler is the Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 (I think that's what it's called!). I have had a quick play with Easytune6 and option 1 gave me 3.2GHz (Windows showed it as 2.4GHz to 3.2GHz!?!).

I guess what I need now is one of these BIOS Profiles to apply the correct settings to get me started if that is at all possible.

Re: EP45-UD3P (F9) - Backup BIOS Recovery Source?

Thanks for the Template Lsd, I will apply it this evening.

I was using F4 for the test, I can clear the HPA on any of the drives as long as it's not the first (primary) drive. The HPA does not reappear on the drive unless I make it the primary drive, even with it set to Backup-BIOS in the menu.

Re: EP45-UD3P (F9) - Backup BIOS Recovery Source?

Cheers, it's not a problem now I know what is doing it and why.
Is there a way to force the BIOS to update the backup with the currently loaded version so I have it on each drive? I think I saw Alt-F12 mentioned somewhere...

Yes, press ALT + F12 at bootup and you will be able to copy the current MAIN BIOS Into the Backup BIOS

Where I posted ranges, for most any of them you need to start with the upper end not the lower end. Please try again, with all the upper end of my suggestions.

Then if you have issues, please tell me what the issue is (Like BSOD After windows starts or before, ect) and then post me the exact settings you tried that failed and I will advise back
